Cairo

City of a Thousand Minarets

More than 20 million people call Cairo their home and, as soon as you set foot in the sprawling metropolis, it's evident they make it crowded and chaotic, but also exuberant and charming.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Cairo: Giza (Pyramids of Giza, Khafre's Pyramid, & more). Next up on the itinerary: see the interesting displays at Egyptian Antiquities Museum, steep yourself in history at Mohamed Ali Mosque, explore the ancient world of Keops Pyramid, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Old City (Coptic Cairo).

Use the Route module to find suitable travel options from your home destination to Cairo. In February, daily temperatures in Cairo can reach 24°C, while at night they dip to 13°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 1st (Wed) so you can travel back home.
